What are the causes of lower abdominal pain after menstruation?

For female friends, the menstrual period every month will bring a lot of physical and mental discomfort, such as dysmenorrhea, physical fatigue, loss of appetite, psychological irritability, etc. However, after the menstrual period, symptoms of lower abdominal pain will occur due to the physiological changes caused during the period. A certain proportion of friends have this phenomenon. So what causes this phenomenon? Let us learn about the relevant causes below.

There are many factors that cause abdominal pain after menstruation, such as:

1. Cervical stenosis mainly causes obstruction of menstrual outflow, causing abdominal pain symptoms.

2. Uterine hypoplasia. Poor uterine development is prone to abnormal blood supply, causing uterine ischemia and hypoxia, resulting in abdominal pain symptoms.

3. Abnormal position of the uterus. If a woman's uterus is extremely retroflexed or anteflexed, it may affect the smooth flow of menstrual blood and cause abdominal pain symptoms.

4. Psychological and neurological factors: some women are overly sensitive to pain.

5. Genetic factors: a daughter’s dysmenorrhea is related to her mother’s dysmenorrhea.

6. Endocrine factors: Abdominal pain during menstruation is related to the increase of progesterone in the luteal phase.

7. Gynecological diseases, such as endometriosis, pelvic inflammatory disease, adenomyosis, uterine fibroids, etc. It is currently believed that increased levels of prostaglandins in the endometrium and blood are the main cause of dysmenorrhea. Because a large amount of prostaglandins have an excitatory effect on the uterus, they can cause strong contractions of the uterine muscles, uterine ischemia and hypoxia, and produce more severe pain, so there are symptoms of abdominal pain.

If you experience lower abdominal pain after menstruation, you need to do more physical exercise to strengthen your physical fitness. Pay attention to your daily life, combine work and rest, get proper nutrition and adequate sleep. Pay attention to the publicity and education of menstrual physiology to eliminate psychological fear, anxiety and mental burden. Strengthen menstrual hygiene, avoid strenuous exercise, excessive fatigue and prevent cold. Drinking yogurt and milk can basically relieve abdominal pain, because yogurt or milk mainly contains a lot of calcium, which can calm nerves and help balance the body's ions. After a woman's menstrual period, pain occurs due to excessive contraction of the uterine muscles. When women have their menstrual period, calcium is not easily absorbed due to calcium ion imbalance, decreased female hormones and increased progesterone. Therefore, drinking more yogurt and milk can help relieve abdominal pain.
